nit: it might help to include the test numbers in the changelog in
this patch here too. Save a couple of clicks to dig out the original
patch cover for the numbers :)

nit: seems like this comment isn't necessary. is_async is pretty
self-explanatory to me. But definitely not a show stopper tho :)

The zswap side looks good to me. I don't have expertise/authority to
ack the crypto API change (but FWIW it LGTM too based on a cursory
code read).
